Visions of Spring card

Here is a card inspired by a dimensional technique demonstrated by Jennifer McGuire (www.jennifermcguireink.com) the other day.    My card is not nearly as awesome as hers but I was pleased with the outcome.    It helps me think that Spring might actually be close!   (PLEASE...we can't deal with cold and snow much longer...we need a break!)

Another Project Completed!

I'm enjoying retired living and crafting EVERY day!   My recent project is featured below.   It was started actually as a fail in a different project.   I was trying to create a canvas with a light pink color however in my haste I didn't let it dry and then second coat actually started removing the first coat.   It was AWFUL but I don't waste anything and decide to make use of the canvas.    In the end I really like what I made.  It is inspirational to help me keep creating!   

SURPRISE!!! Another post for 2019

As I mentioned, I have a new crafting "toy" (die-cutting machine) which I LOVE!    Here is my latest creation.   A new mousepad!   It was actually a happy accident of sorts.   The text was supposed to all be horizontal but I was being lazy and rushed to press everything at once instead of in sections.   But I actually like the result better!    Now...what to make next?

2019 has arrived!

   (I'm laughing to myself because my last post was a year ago in which I declared that I would do better about posting...)   Oh well...it was a good year.   Any year that we are still breathing and healthy is good, right?    I did have sinus issues for the better half of the year but that is in the past and one must think positive for future good health.    I got a new die-cutting machine for my birthday and have been crazy crafting with it.    Also got an Easy Press so I can use iron-on vinyl to decorate and craft with.   LOVE them!    Here is my 2019 card that I created.   I'm sharing here to wish you all the best for 2019!   It's not much but I'm still learning how creative I can be with the new toys.   Anyway...maybe this year I will post a few more items on my blog.   :-)
